At Exhibit Farm, we’re passionate about making agriculture education more engaging, hands-on, and accessible for students of all ages. Our latest product, artificial field corn cobs with realistic husks and silks, does exactly that. Created in collaboration with Michigan Ag in the Classroom, these life-sized corn models are designed to help students dive deeper into the world of agriculture—right from their desks.
The Power of Hands-On Learning
Agriculture is one of the most essential industries in the world, yet it’s often misunderstood by those who aren’t directly involved. That’s why bringing agricultural education into schools is so important. By giving students the chance to physically interact with realistic models like our artificial corn cobs, we can foster a stronger connection between young learners and the food systems that sustain them.
Our artificial corn cobs allow students to see and feel every detail of the crop—just as if they were walking through a cornfield themselves. The textured husks, golden silks, and lifelike kernels are all crafted to give students a more meaningful understanding of this vital crop. With these models in hand, students can explore topics like plant growth, pollination, and the importance of corn in everyday products.
Why use Artificial Corn Cobs in the Classroom?
Handling real corn in the classroom presents a few challenges. The corn may not always be in season, and it certainly won’t last for more than a few days in a learning environment. Our artificial corn cobs are the perfect alternative. They’re durable, long-lasting, and designed to withstand the hustle and bustle of daily classroom activities. Plus, they don’t require refrigeration or seasonal availability, making them an ideal teaching tool year-round.
These corn models make it easier for teachers to plan lessons about agriculture without worrying about the logistics of sourcing fresh corn. They’re always ready to go when the lesson calls for them.
Making Education Fun and Accessible
Michigan Ag in the Classroom has long been a champion of agricultural education. Their mission is to connect students with the food and farming systems that feed our communities. We’re proud to support that mission by providing this custom solution. Our corn cobs not only look realistic, but they also offer an interactive way for students to learn about one of the most significant crops in Michigan and across the U.S.
Whether it’s a lesson on the anatomy of a corn plant, the lifecycle of crops, or the economic role of agriculture, these artificial corn cobs are versatile tools that can enhance learning. They help students engage with the material in a more tangible way, turning abstract concepts into something they can see and touch.
Committed to Educational Innovation
At Exhibit Farm, we’re always looking for new ways to make agricultural education exciting and effective. These artificial field corn cobs are just the latest in our growing line of educational displays and models. We’re dedicated to creating tools that make learning about farming, crops, and sustainability fun for students and teachers alike.
